To those making team names, remember that ' and . aren't valid characters. You can only put in alphanumerics, underscores, and hyphens.

A Magical Lamp posted:So I'm trying to get good at the game again in preparation for the tournament. I'm worshipping Xom, I'm in Lair and I'm frightened, everything teleports and he keeps tormenting me at inopportune moments! A good Xom game. Edit: RPATDO_LAMD posted:The idea is that they wanted to get rid of "swappable" amulets. SO no more switching to rMut when you see a malmutator, stasis when you see a paralyser, clarity when you see a confuser, etc. Most of the remaining amulets have some sort of penalty when equipped or removed to discourage frequent swapping, too. They also kept rCorr as a ring, which is a much better slot for it honestly. Floodkiller fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Apr 29, 2016 |

Zarick posted:Can anyone make some good rcfile recommendations? I'd particularly like to see making the character dump as verbose as possible, as well as just some nice quality of life things. default_manual_training = true -This sets your training style to manual instead of automatic every new game, as well as changes the skill display to show XP cost instead of percentages by default. stop = Your transformation is almost over. -This automatically stops auto-travel if whatever Form you are in is about to wear off. Useful for Transmuters, Necromutation users, Statue Form octopodes/felids/ogres, etc. tile_player_tile = playermons -This replaces your player tile with the default monster one. You can also change it to display the tile of any other monster, for example "mons:Dispater". fake_lang = butt -Self-explanatory.

Maurice, on the other hand, is now the only monster who will punish you for items on the ground, as he is the only one that will pick them up even if they have been seen.

From what I've picked up from conversations on Tavern/WebTiles chat, gargoyles are an average/below average species because their HP is garbage and their aptitudes aren't stellar to make up for it (unlike spriggans or deep elves). Most of the advantages they have, however (like free AC, rPois, rN+, rElec, etc.) give the appearance of a strong species because newer players struggle with danger levels of certain enemies and adjusting their equipment. Having all those free resists lets them get farther than they normally would (but not far enough that the low HP starts hurting), thus appearing strong. I personally think gargoyles are still a strong species despite that line of thinking, but whatever.

yurtcradled posted:WTF Crawl. Why did this iron grate replace the mini-stash I left next to the stairs on Depths 5 while I was clearing Zot? It looks like the grate trap that occasionally generates on staircases with the intent of blocking you from stairdancing. I would take a guess that there is some bad interaction with the trap being generated that caused it to overwrite the items on the square.

FulsomFrank posted:Drowned Spirit engulfing attack is also super frightening because even for characters that can demolish the branch in general, those ghosts do some serious damage if you're not careful. Unless you are unbreathing, that is (score another for gargoyles!) E: Not to forget their built in perma flight with no penalty for it.

jerkstoresup posted:Looks like CAO finally got 0.18 up, so everyone who plays there should update their rcfiles. The tourny starts in about 19 hours. Also make sure that your rcfile didn't change your team affiliation if you had something else in your rcfile for CAO, as it takes precedence first over the other servers. (  )

Just an FYI, you got changed back to Wolf Pakellas, probably because it was in your rcfile for CAO on an earlier version and it carried over to 0.18 when it updated. Also, still waiting on MOVIE MAJICK!

resistentialism posted:So on the topic of pakellas abuse: I just found another early antimagic weapon. If I'm at like 1/3 mp and I swap to it and artificially lower my max mp, does that improve my mp/maxmp ratio and give me better charge efficiency, or am I just fooling myself? You get less charges if your max MP is lower. Note that this does not matter if you are a deep dwarf and are abusing the fact that recharge will always give you at least one charge back, even with only 1 MP, to top off your healing wand (this does cost piety eventually).

Wolfechu posted:Jesus, Floodkiller. I'm at work right now, but still, go team Crawl of Duty! I don't think I even could finish a game in what, about 2 hours? I got really lucky with the stairs placement on Depths and Zot, but I still didn't beat my best time of 1:53:01 and 42k turns from last tournament (and I still missed top 3 that time by 15 minutes or so). I think I might have wasted too much time doing Orc, in retrospect. E: Although I did have a +9 vamp exec axe for that game. This time I only had a +9 venom exec axe for the majority until I got a +6 freeze exec artifact right before Zot.

Wolfechu posted:Even so, my fastest time for a game was apparently my last win, and THAT was 3:13.26. I'm... not a speed player Honestly, I've played so many pure melee characters (even when it would be better to grab at least some form of ranged combat) that I've mostly ingrained what's dangerous and what isn't by reflex. MiBe just makes it even easier to blur the line and just go "Eh, Trog's Hand+Berserk, maybe a BiA" at first glance. From there it's mostly o+tab+a bit of gambling until the rune endings, Depths, and Zot. Also, DEVASTATOR is up to +11 slaying, get hosed everything

Pinechild posted:So I'm running a GrMo, took the Faded Altar and it gave me Trog. I've been having a great time punching things to death and using shortbows for distance after picking up a frost-branded one off a centaur, but now that Trog's starting to drop gifts, should I maybe think about switching to actual weapons? Does he ever give out ranged weapons? Yes, Trog can gift launchers; that's why Kobolds of Trog are so fun, because you can almost guarantee that you will get a triple crossbow

lordfrikk posted:I saw one guy playing a formicid got orb of fire zig floor, 12 of them. Obviously he died. Is it supposed to be doable? I did only 3 full zigs before 0.18 but never got that, is it a recent addition? They have existed for a while, and they are clearable. It usually involves multiple level 9 spells and some way of mitigating LoS (Fire Storm surprisingly does both with the fire vortex spawns), and having lots of HP and rF+++. This assumes that you are also worshipping either Gozag or Makhleb to either distract the OoFs as you kill the chaff with your level 9 spells, or heal up to full constantly. I think Chaos floors (the ones filled with pan lords) can be much scarier due to the random spell sets sometimes resulting in instadeath combinations.

gently caress Cocytus vaults that require crossing deep water with flying, gently caress cancellation being a Hell effect, gently caress moving over deep water/lava not prompting a hard Yes if your current flight status is fading, gently caress drowning as a thing in general At least I got Pan so I don't have to go back there and play around mutations forever on my next character.

It seems like every tournament I gently caress up an extended perfect character through some sort of idiocy. A gargoyle dying to death curses in Tomb, an ogre killing Cerebov and leaving the rune, a formicid getting the iron rune first and then dying to an easy pack of enemies 300 turns later in Depths, and now a demonspawn drowning because I lagged through the 2 turn warning of Hell cancelling my flight. I'm now wondering how bad I can gently caress up next tournament (or if I've still got more in me for this one)! On a side note, I was reading a Tavern thread and chuckled at the name Captain Tedium, so now I'm trying to think of Justice League/Avengers puns for HOM clans.

oneof3steves posted:Is there a good way to utilize the sceptre of torment on a ghoul? I already have my unarmed all the way up and am doing fine, but I've never managed to use it and was wondering if there's a way to proc it easily without investing a bunch of points or is it another evocations and staves kind of thing. It goes off on 50% of all attacks and a 1/200 chance every turn otherwise (while wielded, of course), no evocations investment required.

That doesn't mean it's a good idea, but it isn't terrible.

Of the chars that PleasingFungus played that made it to XL10, he splatted 4 in a row before eking out a win. After killing a Halfling that made it to XL17 (his second death in a row of an XL16+ character), he came to the dev channel to try to start a discussion about removing Halflings. These are all facts.
